Expert: Michael Zarnock - 8/13/2013

QuestionHello Michael,how are you?,here is my question,the 2010 Bread Box coll.#013 CANDY BLUE. The California plts. read HW68JUN and the side has VEH. ID HW88JUN, is this an error? I`m thinking the 88 on side should be 68, also there were different color releases on it and wonderif they all have the same tampos? Is this an error????

AnswerRobert,
They are all that way. As for it being an error, they would be changed on later production runs if they were. There has to be an explanation as to why they are different from the rear to the side, but only the designer would be able to tell us that.

Education/CredentialsThere are no Educational Credentials available or needed for this area, just the need to be obsessed!
But I guess writing 13 books and countless magazine articles on the subject and being inducted into the Diecast Hall of Fame as a Hot Wheels Historian should be credentials enough to make me an expert. And if I don't know the answer, I'll do me best to find the person that does.
